STOVE FOR BURNING CHARCO AL AND CORK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 343,623, dated June 15, 1886.

Application filed September 1, 1885. Serial No. 175,950. (No model.)

.To a whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEON CLINE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Ohicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stoves for Burning Charcoal and Cork, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, illustrating the improvement, in which like letters on the several figures indicate like parts.

This invention relates to a heater which is especially designed for burning a composition fuel consisting of crushed charcoal and finecut cork, which burns from the top downward and consumes very slowly, and because of this a heating appliance has been constructed and adapted to promote the combustion of this fuel.

Figure 1 represents in perspective the ap-v pliance I have invented for the purpose being considered; Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal section of Fig. 1 on line as. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of Fig. 2, except the foot-rests are shown to run transversely with the heat ing-case, instead of longitudinally, as they are in Figs; 1 and 2; Fig. 4., a perspective representation of. the fire-pan removed from the case of the heater. Fig. 5 is a skeleton end elevation of a heating-case designed to be used for feet-warming in carriages where the passengers face each other and all the passengers use one heater, the top being a double incline. Fig. 6 is an end view showing only one incline, which is preferable in man cases. 7

A represents the sides, B the ends, O the cover, and L the bottom, of the exterior, or

what I term the ease of the heater, which is made of sheet metal in the ordinary manner of light iron-work, except that in the cover 0 are formed a series of perforations or openings, E, for the escape of heat from the pan ings are important in this device, inasmuch as the air best to serve the purpose should enter the case on a level with the point of escape of the heat, which is at the top of the pan. This will enable the best results to be obtained.

The holes or openings 0 may be made in the form shown, or in any other form which will serve the purpose of permitting the heat freely to escape; but in any event they should be made to extend from end to end of the cover, or nearly so, that all the cover-surface may be utilized for heating the feet.

It will be understood that the heater is not designed to produceintense heat, but rather to give a continuous moderate heat which shall not be injurious to leather or cloth.

D represents foot-supports, which are to be made of some material-such as wood or other substance-which is a slow conductor of heat; and if wood be used, it will be better if pre pared in a solution of alum-water, after which they can be finished in any style desired and secured to the lid 0 by rivets or screws put through the cover 0 or the sheet metal into them.

If desired, the foot-supports may be placed on the cover transversely, asshown at Fig. 3, instead of as shown at Fig. 1.

As an intimation of the size of the heater, it is found that a pan, G, which will hold one quart of fuel, will be sufficient to keep the feet comfortable for six hours in a cold winter day.

The heater is also designed for fumigating purposes. By adding the fumigating material in with the charcoal and cork an active fumigation may be kept up for considerable time.

The cover 0 may be hinged to the body of the case, andby means of the handle L the case can be conveniently carried, and by means'of the handle H the pan G may be lifted out.

In the foregoing a complete stove has been particularly described; but I confine the novelty of the invention to the construction for burning cork and charcoal.

Having thus described myinvention, what I tion with a fuel-pan, G, Whose top part is on claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, a level with or below the lower openings, (0 b, isas and for the purpose specified.
